    Journal: Inorg Chem; 2009 Sep 07; 48(17):8603-12. PubMed ID: 19663455.
    Abstract:
    The molecular structures of allyl-, allenyl-, propargyl-, vinyl-, ethynyl-, phenyl-, benzyl-, and chloromethyl-phosphine have been determined from gas-phase electron diffraction data employing the SARACEN method. The experimental geometric parameters are compared with those obtained using ab initio calculations performed at the MP2 level using both Pople-type basis sets and the correlation-consistent basis sets of Dunning. The structure and conformational behavior of each molecule have been analyzed and, where possible, comparisons made to the analogous amine. For systems with multiple conformers, differences in the CCP bond angle of approximately 5 degrees between conformers are common. Trends in the key parameters are identified and compared with those found in similar systems.
